Why am I here?Our retail customers are looking for you.New customers to them are more important than
some of the more tired out concepts in Affiliate Marketing.
We work with thousands of bloggers annually to help them branch in to Affiliate Marketing.
You are in an enormously advantageous bargaining position.

How to Get Started?Bottom line, relevancy is the number one key. This
isn’t adwords, display rotations, or CPC – this is relevant content chosen for you, to be directed at your audience.
Think of the audience concept – your readers are your audience – what will they respond to?
The number one benefit to Affiliate Marketing is the ability to be relevant, and it is also the number one roadblock to activity.

Get Away from the SidebarEasy to add – usually of no worth. If this is what
you’ve tried in the past it is likely the reason for failure.
Contextual links directly to products work best.Product reviews can be good but requires careful
attention to the review/paid/disclosure issue. http://www.shoeaholicsanonymous.com/styles/bo

Supplement by using DealsI don’t recommend just specifically deals marketing
to anyone at this point due to the crowded nature of the space.
Supplementing reviews, blogs, with available deals is a great plan – but if you do it, contact the merchant and get a custom code. Find out how they are commissioning coupon sites.

Google Affiliate Network make up the vast majority of the space.
